Nice demo! Learned modules for vision plus GOFE (good old fashioned engineering). Some dexterity and impressive body joint coordination. (I like the “Fully Autonomous” text in the corner.) As you noted Chris: “no end-to-end stuff.” 😉 https://t.co/yTiFQcGTQN

Augmented Dexterity: New Term for Robot-Assisted Surgery
By

Gary Guthart (CEO of @IntuitiveSurg
) and I propose the phrase “Augmented Dexterity” to describe systems where surgical subtasks are controlled by a robot under the close supervision of a human surgeon (vs. "supervised autonomy" which can be intimidating). Go Bears! @UCBerkeley -
